    According to Google the number of Valid pages on my website is dropping like a stone.
    I'm not aware of any changes that I may have made so any idea why this is happening?
    Here's the screenshots from my Webmaster tools report for both Mobile and Desktop versions.

    Have you checked your sitemap?

    Eg. Mysite.com/sitemap.xml

    Wordpress has native support for site maps these days but the yoast plugin handles it better.

    1. Install yoast free
    2. Manually check your site map
    3. Submit sitemap to google for indexing via search console.
    4. Run a search command operator in Google like so "site:mysite.com" no quotes. That'll tell you which of your pages are indexed.
    5. Also check robots.txt, htaccess and see if your pages have a no index meta tag for some reason.
